Description
This application is a division of our pending application Ser. No. 07/691,509, filed Apr. 25, 1991 now U.S. Pat. No. 5,093,366; which in turn is a division of our application Ser. No. 07/572,341, filed Aug. 24, 1990, now Pat. No. 5,037,852, granted Aug. 6, 1991; which in turn is a continuation of our application Ser. No. 07/191,194, filed May 6, 1988, and now abandoned.
This invention is related to novel cinnamoylamide derivatives of the following formula: ##STR2## (wherein all of the symbols are the same as hereafter defined.) and inhibitory agents on 5α-reductase containing them as active ingredient.
So far, many theories have been suggested, such as (1) imbalance of hormones, (2) genetics, (3) circulatory failure, (4) nutrition, as the origin of androgenic alopecia.
And it has been also suggested that testosterone (androgenic hormone) played an important role on the generation of hair.
The theory of Adachi at al in which the relation between testosterone and androgenic alopecia is proved by biochemical experiments, is as follows:
i) first, testosterone biosynthesized in testes is converted into dihydrotestosterone by 5α-reductase existing in hair follicle, sebaceous gland etc. in the head.
ii) dihydrotestosterone reduces the activities of adenyl cyclase remarkably.
iii) it decreases cyclic-AMP in cells.
iv) last, it induces lowering of energy generation of hairs and limbus and supressing of protein synthesis
(See Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun., 41, 884 (1970)
According to the theory it is thought that, as the result of the series of phenomena, hairs in the growing phase shift to the resting phase, the terminal hairs change to the soft hairs, and the androgenic alopecia develops in the end.
A report by H. V. Schweikert supports this theory that large quantities of metabolites by 5α-reductase such as dihydro testosterone etc. in hair follicles of the androgenic alopecia-patient exist more than that in females or healthy males. (See J. Clin. Endocr., 38, 811 (1974))
It was reported that dihydrotestosterone converted from testosterone by 5α-reductase also plays in an important physiological role in the generate of acnes (acne, pimple etc.) other than androgenic alopecia. J. B. Hay et al reported that the metabolism of testosterone by 5α-reductase was enhanced in the affected part of acne aggravated, from the study in the flux between affected skin of the acne-patient and healthy skin (See Br. J. Dermatol., 91, 123 (1974)).
G. Sansone et al found that the synthetic ability of dihydrotestosterone from testosterone developed from two to twenty times in the affected part of an acne-patient compared to that in healthy man, and they suggested that dihydrotestosterone generated by 5α-reductase is closely related to the generation or aggravation of acne (See J. Invest. Dermatol., 56, 366 (1971)).
And, dihydrotestosterone is related to the hypertrophy of the prostate. Cowan et al reported that much dihydrotestosterone existed in the prostate of a prostatic hypertrophy-patient (See J. Steroid Biochemistry, 11, 609 (1979)). Recently, it was learned that activity of 5α-reductase in prostate of a prostatic hypertrophy-patient aggravated abnormally (See J. Clinical Endocrinol and Metabolism, 56, 139 (1983)).
From this informations it is clear that dihydrotestosterone plays an important role in the generation and development of prostatic hypertrophy.
Based on the above background, recently, research and development of 5α-reductase inhibitors have been carried out energetically. They are mainly steroids or derivatives thereof.
Widespread investigation has been carried out in order to discover compounds which have a non-steroidal structure, and possess inhibitory activity on 5α-reductase. The present applicants have found that the above purpose can be accomplished by compounds wherein cinnamic acid or benzoic acids from amides with anilines.
[See
Japanese Patent Kokai No. 60-97946,
Japanese Patent Kokai No. 60-116657,
Japanese Patent Kokai No. 60-142936,
Japanese Patent Kokai No. 60-142941,
Japanese Patent Kokai No. 60-146855,
Japanese Patent Kokai No. 61-126061, i.e. the European Patent Publication No. 173516,
Japanese Patent Kokai No. 62-198652 and
Japanese Patent Kokai No. 62-198653.]
For example, the specification of Japanese Patent Kokai No. 61-126061, describes that a very wide range of amide compounds possess inhibitory activity on 5α-reductase. Extracting parts related closely to the compounds of the present invention of the formula (I) in chemical structure, it is suggested that the compounds of the formula: ##STR3## [wherein Aa represents vinylene group unsubstituted or substituted by alkyl group(s) of from 1 to 10 carbon atoms(s),
Ba represents a bivalent group --O--CH2 -- and
Ra1 represents a group of the formula: ##STR4## (wherein Ra5 and Ra6 represent, independently, a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom or alkyl, alkenyl or alkynyl group of from 1 to 20 carbon atoms(s) which may be replaced optionally from 1 to 5 carbon atoms, by an oxygen atom, sulfur atom, halogen atom, nitrogen atom, benzene ring, thiophene ring, naphthalene ring, carbon ring of from 4 to 7 carbon atoms, carbonyl group, carbonyloxy group, hydroxyl group, carboxyl group, azide group or nitro group)
Ta represents a oxygen atom,
Ra2 represents a hydrogen atom,
Ra3 represents a hydrogen atom,
Ra4 represents a group of --(CH2)ap --COORa8
(wherein ap represents an integer of from 1 to 10, Ra8 represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group of from 1 to 6 carbon atom(s)).]
i.e.; the compounds of the formula: ##STR5## (wherein all of the symbols have the same meanings as defined hereinbefore.)
On the other hand, a group of compounds which are similar to the compounds of the prevent invention in chemical structure, is disclosed in the specification of Japanese Patent Kokai No. 51-1438 and French Patent Publication No. 2164481.
For example, in the specification of Japanese Patent Kokai No. 51-1438, it is disclosed that the compounds of the formula ##STR6## [wherein Rb1 and Rb2 each represent a hydrogen atom or lower alkyl group,
Rb3 represents a chemical bond together with Rb4,
Xb represents a halogen atom, lower alkyl group,
lower alkoxy group or cyclic alkyl group,
bn represents an integer of from 1 to 3,
Rb5 represents a hydrogen atom and
Yb represents an oxyalkylene group binding benzene ring via an oxygen atom.]
(the above definitions of symbols are taken from the original specification.) are available as antiallergic agents.
Moreover, in the specification of French Patent Publication No. 2164481, it is disclosed that compounds of the formula: ##STR7## [wherein Ac represents an alkylene group of from 1 to 3 carbon atom(s),
Bc represents a bivalent ethylenic hydro-carbon of from 1 to 5 carbon atom(s),
Rc represents a hydrogen atom,
Rcl represents one or two substituent(s) selected from alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, aralkyl, halogen, alkoxy, aryloxy and alkylthio group and Zc represents an oxygen atom.]
(the definition of symbols are taken from the original specification) possess anti-inflammatory and antipyretic action.
This time, the present inventors have synthesized new compounds which belong to the compounds of the formula (A2) broadly and are not described specifically in the specification of Japanese Patent Kokai No. 61-126061, and have confirmed that the compounds possess inhibitory activity on 5α-reductase. As the result, the present inventors have found compounds which possess far more activity than expected at the beginning. It is quite unexpected that compounds having remarkably superior activity are contained in the compounds of the formula(A2)
Compounds of the formula (I), of the present invention, are not contained in the general formula (B), and the fact that the compounds of the formula (B) possess anti-inflammatory activity never suggest that the compounds of the prevent invention possess inhibitory activity on 5α-reductase. Examining the specification of French Patent Publication No. 2164481 in detail, we can understand that only one compound was synthesized in practice. Moreover, the fact that compounds of the formula (C) possess anti-inflammatory activity does not suggest that the compounds of the present invention possess inhibitory activity on 5α-reductase.
Accordingly, the present invention relates to cinnamoylamide derivatives of the formula: ##STR8## [wherein, (i) in case R2 represents a methyl group and R3 represents a hydrogen atom,
(R1)n represents a group selected from
3-pentyl group,
4-pentyl group,
4-neopentyl group,
4-(2-ethylbutyl) group,
4-(2-methylpentyl) group,
2-fluoro-4-pentyloxy group,
4-butylthio group,
4-cyclobutylmethyl group,
4-cyclohexylmethyl group,
4-(4-phenylbutyl) group and
4-phenoxy group, and
(ii) in case R2 represents a hydrogen atom and R3 represents a methyl group,
(R1)n represents a group selected from
3-pentyl group and
4-phenethyl group.],
non-toxic salts thereof and inhibitory agents on 5α-reductase containing them as active ingredient.
In the formula (I), the configuration of a vinylene group which R2 and R3 bond to, is E.
When (R1)n represents the 4-(2-methylpentyl) group, two optical isomers arise owing to an asymmetric carbon atom in the pentyl group. The present invention includes these two isomers and mixtures thereof.
All compounds of the formula (I) are preferable. Especially, the compounds
[wherein, (i) in case R2 represents a methyl group and R3 represents a hydrogen atom,
(R1)n represents a group selected from
3-pentyl group,
4-pentyl group,
2-fluoro-4-pentyloxy group,
4-cyclobutylmethyl group,
4-cyclohexylmethyl group and
4-phenoxy group
(ii) in case R2 represents a hydrogen atom and R3 represents a methyl group,
(R1)n represents a group selected from
3-pentyl group and
4-phenethyl group.]
are preferable. More especially, the compounds wherein R2 represents a methyl group, R3 represents a hydrogen atom and (R1)n represents a group selected from 3-pentyl group, 4-pentyl group and 4-cyclobutylmethyl group are preferable.
The compounds of the formula (I) of the present invention may be converted into the corresponding salts by known method. Non-toxic and water soluble salts are preferably. Suitable salts, for example, are follows:
salts of an alkali metal e.g. sodium, potassium,
salts of alkaline earth metal e.g. calcium, magnesium,
ammonium salts,
salts of pharmaceutically acceptable amines e.g. tetramethylammonium, triethylamine, methylamine, dimethylamine, cyclopentylamine, benzylamine, phenethylamine, piperidineamine, monoethanolamine, diethanolamine, tris (hydroxymethyl)aminomethane, lysine, arginine, N-methyl-D-glucamine.
According to the present invention, the compounds of the formula (I) of the present invention may be prepared by saponifying compounds of the formula: ##STR9## (wherein all of the symbols have the same meanings as hereinbefore defined.)
The saponification is known per se and may be carried out, for example, using an aqueous solution of alkali (potassium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, lithium hydroxide, potassium carbonate, sodium carbonate etc.) in a water-miscible organic solvent (tetrahydrofuran (THF), dioxane, ethanol, methanol, etc.). The reaction is carried out at a temperature of from -10° C. to 100° C.
The compounds of the formula(II) may be prepared by allowing to react a carboxylic acid of the formula: ##STR10## (wherein all of the symbols have the same meanings as defined hereinbefore.)
with an amine of the formula: ##STR11##
Preparation of an amide bond by reacting a carboxylic acid with an amine are per se known and, for example, are
(A) method using a mixed acid anhydride
(B) method using an acid halide
(C) method using DCC etc.
Described concretely, the (A) method using a mixed acid anhydride may be carried out, for example, by reacting, a mixed acid anhydride obtained by acylating a carboxylic acid of the formula (III) with an acid halide (pivaloyl chloride, tosyl chloride, mesyl chloride, etc.) or an acid derivative (ethyl chloroformate, isobutyl chloroformate, etc.) in the presence of a tertiary amine (pyridine, triethylamine, picoline etc.) in an inert organic solvent (chloroform, methylene chloride, diethyl ether, THF, etc.) or without solvent at from 0° C. to 40° C., with an amine of the formula (IV) in an inert organic solvent (described above) at from 0° C. to 40° C.
(B) Method using an acid halide may be carried out, for example, by reacting an acid halide obtained by treating a carboxylic acid of the formula (III) with an acid halide (thionylchloride, oxalyl chloride, etc.) in an inert organic solvent (described above) at from -20° C. to refluxing temperature of the solvent used, with an amine of the formula (IV) in an inert organic solvent (described above) at from 0° C. to 40° C.
(C) Method using a condensing agent such as DCC (dicyclohexylcarbodiimide) may be carried out, for example, by reacting a carboxylic acid of the formula (III) with an amine of the general formula (IV), using DCC etc., in the presence or absence of tertiary amine (described above), in an inert organic solvent (described above) or without solvent, at from 0° C. to 40° C.
The reactions of (A), (B) and (C) are carried out, preferably, in an atmosphere of inert gas (argon, nitrogen etc.) and under anhydrous conditions.
Throughout the specification, in each reaction, products may be purified by conventional methods, for example, distillation at atmospheric or reduced pressure, high performance liquid chromatography, thin layer chromatography using silica gel or magnesium silicate, or washing, or recrystallization. Purification may be carried out after each reaction series of reactions.
Starting materials and reagents in the present invention are known per se or may be prepared by known methods.
For example, a carboxylic acid of the formula (III) may be prepared by the method described in the specification of Japanese Patent Kokai Nos. 60-97946, 60-116657, 60-142936, 60-142941 and 60-146855.
An amine of the formula (IV) may be prepared by the method described in the specification of Japanese Patent Kokai No. 61-126061.
The compounds of the formula (I) of the present invention possess an inhibitory activity on 5α-reductase and therefore are useful for the prevention and/or treatment of diseases resulted from the excess generation of dihydrotestosterone in mammals, especially human. The diseases such as the above, for example, are alopecia e.g. androgenic alopecia, aches and hypertrophy of prostate.
An inhibitory activity on 5α-reductase of the present invention is confirmed by the screening system described hereafter.
(1) The method of test
The test was carried out with reference to the method of J. Shimazaki et al [See Endocrinol, Japon., 18, 179 (1971)].
Male rat's prostate (4 g) was homogenized with its triple volume of 0.1M HEPES buffer (PH 7.4) including 0.25M cane sugar and was centrifuged at 3000 r.p.m. for 10 mins.
The precipitate was suspended into the buffer solution described above (10 ml), and the suspension was centrifuged at 3000 r.p.m. for 5 mins. The resulting precipitate was suspended in the buffer solution (3 ml) described above and was used as a source of enzyme.
A reaction mixture (total volume 0.1 ml) of [4-C14 ]-testosterone (1.5 n mol, 1.5×105 cpm), NADPH (0.5 μmol), enzyme solution (0.03 ml) described above and several kinds of concentration of the compounds in the present invention was incubated for 60 mins at 37° C. Enzyme reaction was quenched by addition of a mixture (0.4 ml) of chloroform and methanol (1:2), and the mixture was centrifuged at 2000 r.p.m. for 3 mins. The supernatant (50 μl) was spotted on silica gel thin layer plate. The spot on the plate was developed with a mixture of chloroform, methanol and acetic acid (99.2:0.6:0.2). Radioactivity of dihydrotestosterone generated on plate was measured by TLC scanner of radio-autography and the inhibitory ratio was calculated. The result is showed in the following table 1.

(2) The result of test
The result of the test shows that all of the compounds of the present invention possess a strong inhibitory activity on 5α-reductase. A compared compound is the compound whose chemical structure is described specifically and possesses the greatest inhibitory activity on 5α-reductase among the compounds of which data on 5α-reductase are described concretely in the specification of the invention including the compounds of the present invention broadly (disclosed in Japanese Patent Kokai No. 61-126061 and referred to "the prior invention" hereinafter). It has been confirmed that inhibitory activities on 5α-reductase of the compounds of the present invention are from 4.4 to 18.2 times as strong as that of the compared compound. It is unexpected that compounds possessing such a great activity exist.
The compounds of the present invention posses a great inhibitory activity on 5-reductase and therefore are useful for prevention and/or treatment of disease resulted from the excess generation of dihydrotestosterone in mammals, especially human. Moreover, it was confirmed that the toxicity of the compounds of the present invention was very low and therefore they may be used as medicine sufficiently safely.
For the purpose above described, the compounds of the present invention may normally by administered systemically (mainly in the case of prevention and/or treatment of prostatic hypertrophy) or partially (mainly in the case of prevention and/or treatment of alopecia and acne), usually by oral or parenteral administration.
The doses to be administered are determined depending upon age, body weight, symptom, the desired therapeutic effect, the route of administration, and the duration of the treatment etc. In the human adult, for the treatment and/or prevention of prostatic hypertrophy, the doses per person per dose are generally between 1 mg and 1 g, by oral administration, up to several times per day, and between 100 μg and 100 mg, by parenteral administration (preferably intravenous administration) up to several times per day.
In the human adult, for the treatment and/or prevention of alopecia and/or acne, the doses per person per dose are generally between 10 μg and 50 mg, by dermal administration up to several times per day.
As mentioned above, the doses to be used depend upon various conditions. Therefore, there are cases in which doses lower than or greater than the ranges specified above may be used.
The compounds of the present invention were administred as solid compositions, liquid compositions and other compositions for oral administration and injections, external compositions and suppositories etc. for parenteral administration.
Solid compositions for oral administration, include compressed tablets, pills, dispersible powders, capsules, and granules. In such compositions, one or more of the active compound(s) is or are, admixed with at least done inert diluent (lactose, mannitol, glucose, hydroxypropylcellulose, microcrystalline cellulose, starch, polyvinylpyrrolidone, magnesium metasilicate alminate etc.).

Spray compositions may comprise additional substances other than inert diluents: e.g. stabilizing agents (sodium sulfite etc.), isotonic buffer (sodium chloride, sodium citrate, citric acid etc.).
For preparation of such spray compositions, for example, the method described in the U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,868,691 or 3,095,355 may be used.
Injections for parenteral administration include sterile aqueous or non-aqueous solutions, suspensions and emulsions. In such compositions, one or more of active compound(s) is or are admixed with at least one of inert aqueous diluent(s) (distilled water for injection, physiological salt solution etc.) or inert non-aqueous diluent(s) (propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, olive oil, ethanol, POLYSORBATE 80 (registered trade mark) etc.).
Injections may comprise additional other than inert diluents: e.g. preserving agents, wetting agents, emulsifying agents, dispersing agents, stabilizing agents (lactose etc.), assisting agents such as assisting agents for dissolving (glutamic acid, aspertic acid etc.).
They may be sterilized, for example, by filtration through a bacteria-retaining filter, by incorporation of sterilizing agents in the compositions or by irradiation. They may also be manufactured in the form of sterile solid compositions, for example, by freeze-drying, and which can be dissolved in sterile water or some other sterile diluent(s) for injection immediately before use.
Other compositions for parenteral administration include liquids for external use, and endermic liniments (ointment etc.), suppositories and pessaries which comprise one or more of the active compound(s) and these may be prepared by known methods.
Compositions for dermal administration, especially for the treatment and prevention of alopecia and acne, include liquids for external use such as lotion, tonic, spray, solution, suspension, emulsion and liniments such as ointment, gel, cream.
Such compositions may comprise one or more active ingredient(s) and at least one inert diluent(s), for example, distilled water, lower alcohols such as ethanol, higher alcohols such as cetanol, polyalcohols such as polyethylene glycol, propylene glycol, celluloses such as hydroxypropyl cellulose, animal or plant fats, vaseline, wax, silicone, plant oil such as olive oil, surfactants, zinc oxide, etc.
Besides inert diluents, such composition may also comprise adjuvants (wetting agents, suspending agents, perfuming agents, preserving agents).
The following reference examples and examples illustrate the present invention, but do not limit it.
The solvents in parentheses show the developing or eluting solvents and the ratios of the solvents used are by volume in chromatographic separations.
Sodium hydride (28.6 g, content: 63%) was suspended in tetrahydrofuran (1000 ml). Diethyl ethoxycarbonylmethylphosphonate (168 g) dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (500 ml) was added dropwise into the mixture with cooling in an ice-bath over 30 mins. 4-Pentylacetophenone (95 g) in tetrahydrofuran (500 ml) was added to the solution. The solution was stirred overnight at room temperature and then refluxed at 8 hrs. Tetrahydrofuran was evaporated from the reaction mixture. Dilute hydrochloric acid was added to the residue. The acidic solution was extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract dried over magnesium sulfate and evaporated. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (n-hexane:ethyl acetate=99:1→98:2→95:5) to give the title compound (128 g) having the following physical data:
